Briar
Two months after their wedding, life slowly settled into a peaceful rhythm for Briar and Matheus.
Well...
peaceful might not be the correct word.
Because living with Matheus meant constant affection, random kisses, dramatic flirting, and occasional dangerous moments where her husband forgot how to behave properly.
Still—
Briar loved every second of it.
Currently, she stood inside their Geneva kitchen staring suspiciously at a cup of coffee.

Briar frowned thoughtfully afterward while leaning against the counter.
For the past several days, she had been feeling unusually tired too.

Matheus narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Then he gently turned her around toward him.
"Are you alright?"
